Well, I've been planning my swap for a while. As some of you may have noticed I've been asking a few question here and there lately about what all was involved. Over the Christmas break from work my mechanic and I installed my JDM H22A as well as a Quaife, Fidanza flywheel, and some other stuff.
Here are some pics



All in all the swap went smotthly and the car is running great. We had a minor issue with the throttle body and TPS, but we ended up going with my H23 Throttle body and all is well now.

Here is another pic with the pimpy SM magnets my brother gave me for Christmas this year.


Since my motor didn't come with the full header I ended up ordering a Megan header off ebay for 90$ after seing "garn"'s post. All in all it is a nice peice. I am impressed so far.

Thanks for everyone's help here. I would also like to thank Satan and AndyD for answering a few important questions for me.

For the record the JDM P13 4W ECU does throw a code 36 in a USDM 2ws Si. It is a silent code though so all is good.

Comments?

nice

 

Thanks for the comments everyone. I also forgot to mention that what everyone said about the H22 being worth it is right. Under 4k it feels like my H23, but once you get up past 5k it's a whole new world. I've got some dyno time scheduled on Feb 5th, and I can't wait to get out there and AX it either. The quaife is gonna be sweet!

 

nice little christmas present you got there
jdm h22, quaife and megan header

Congratulations, I thoroughly enjoyed my h22 swap and Quaife LSD in my Si. But now I have midrange that stomps the poor H22.

My poor car is on its 4th engine. Though to be honest only one of them was blown up (stoopid previous owner).

Never really heard of it before.

BTW: Very nice, very clean, enjoy 4700 and beyond

 

Very nice. Looks almost exactly like my baby...

 

Extremely clean swap man! Enjoy it for awhile.

Well, I guess I've never driven a stock H22 so I can't say. We do know that it is a DC copy though. Look for a post made by Behan about a header shoot out. I beleive the DC made a few extra horses over stock. "Garn" also did a nice write-up on the megan piece. The quality seems to be good on it though. I did measure it before installing it. It only has a 2" collector. I just needed something to get me going. I plan to purchase a better header in the future. Something with a 2.5" colloector.

 

Lookin for someone to take that H23 off your hands?

 

Sorry man, it's already been sold. It will live again in a 4th gen accord.
